Seriously, why the hate on Westbrook?
I get that he doesn't make the best decisions on the court but I can see why his personality might offend a lot of people but the guy is clearly one of the hardest working players in the league. I personally praise him for his no-look-back-I-don't-give-a-shit attitude, because if anything, we need more of that in today's watered down pussified league where everyone wears a mask in front of the camera to protect their "image".
His fearlessness and determination reminds me of a young Kobe in every way and his relentless style of play makes him one of the most exciting players to watch. The dude's a baller and shows up every night and puts in 100% effort, no questions asked and yet is still hated on at every turn....it's ridiculous how disrespected he is :coleman:

Re: Seriously, why the hate on Westbrook?
Because it's the cool thing to do?
Last night's game was a perfect example of why you can't judge Westbrook solely on the box score. I think he ended up shooting something like 9/24 and finished with 24 points. Some people will look at the box score and say he was chucking and ask why he took 3 more shots than Durant when KD was having a really efficient game. But Durant wasn't doing anything the first 1.5 quarters and OKC needed ultra-aggressive chucking Westbrook. He was relentlessly attacking the rim and putting pressure on Hibbert and the rest of the Pacers frontline. He kept OKC afloat until Durant got going midway through the second quarter.
And that's just one example. There's been plenty of other games this year and the last few years where he's done something similar, and it's kept the team in the game while Durant struggled to get going. But some people will just look at the box score, see he went something like 11/25 on a night where Durant was 13/21, and say he was chucking and hurting the team by not giving the ball to Durant more.

Re: Seriously, why the hate on Westbrook?
People are jealous idiots.
Guy plays hard every single game and has never missed a game in his life.
For some reason, they think Kevin Durant would be averaging 35 ppg on 50% if he had a "true" point guard. (anyone who says this shit deserves to be tortured and killed)
This team would absolutely fail with a guy like Rondo.
I seriously see no other PG in the league doing more for this team than Westbrook.
His durability, offense, aggressiveness, energy, rebounding, defense, play making....
Seriously, this guy does it all, every game..
No James Harden? Still have the best record in the West... hmmm.. who is really more important?

Westbrook giving Durant the ball is literally the most annoying thing I have ever seen. Not him passing to Durant, him looking to literally just give Durant the ball.
It's like....you coming down the court, everyone on edge because the defense knows it can't set up in time....but forget that guys.
Lets Stop 10 feet behind the key - try to force it into Durant while the his weak ass gets pushed out to the perimeter and lets have everyone else stand and watch, while he does something.
Genius offense.

Westbrook? Dude who earned everything he has, couldn't dunk until his senior year in high school, was barely recruited out of high school, worked his ass off and became a lottery pick, and now plays the game hard every single night with no excuses and is loyal to his team and franchise... yah, that guy seems pretty likable...
Or at the very least, respected... I could understand him getting on peoples nerves with his relentless energy and charisma on the court.. but you have to respect him, or you're a "hater" plain and simple.

Re: Seriously, why the hate on Westbrook?
The hate on Westbrook isnt his attitude or anything. I actually like how he is so cocky and somewhat immature. He doesnt put on a facade for the media like all the other players do. I think he can be so much better than he is though. If he is hot, he can hit everything. But he doesnt realize that some days he doesnt have it. He still goes 1 - multiple too much. He doesnt have numbers and forces shots. Thats the only problem, he forces too much.

I always looked at your posts about rose at laughed, now that I realized you really believe this sh*t i feel awkward for you.
If you had ever torn an ACL you knew that even after you're cleared to play by the doctors, you can have pain, and Rose himself has said, that he still has pain in his knee.
I doubt that Westbrook has worked hard. I mean, he definately worked hard for his athleticism, but he has practically no fundamentals, and that's tragic for a point guard.
He also has character issues, and is a very selfish player.
He would be a great SG, but he can't be a decent point guard. I really think that he's hated for playing out of his position, but that's not his choice. So basically, he's hated for what he cannot choose.

Westbrook plays hard every night! He had one of the best Finals game in Game 4. Respect his hard work ethic, he's never missed a game. His celebrations are funny, and his attitude on the court is something to be praised.

Re: Seriously, why the hate on Westbrook?
He dropped 40 in the finals? Oh wow, can you remind me what was the outcome of that game? Exactly.
I doubted that people would argue the no fundamentals part, it's really obvious if you actually have watched any of WB's games you'd see that he constantly gets off of the wrong leg, takes the most idiotic pull up mid range jumpers in the transition and always shouts at his teammates for his own mistakes. Again, I have nothing against the man himself, he seems like a fun guy to have on your team if he's placed correctly. Of course, with a mediocre coach like that, he plays out of his position, and therefore often has a negative impact on the game.

Everything in your post is stupid, but these stand out for me.
You clearly don't watch Thunder games, and if you do, then you're a confirmed moron.
He always yell at his teammates? Man, I must be missing something. He occasionally gets heated and yells at someone for not shooting an open jump shot, but accusing him of "always yelling at teammates for his mistakes" proves you have an agenda.
Often has a negative impact? Don't know where to start, so I won't even start. You're an idiot. Thanks for proving it to everyone.
